  Olema Campground

  Spacious and Accommodating

  We visited this park earlier this spring. Yes it was wet, but we didn't mind. Liked the spaces and layout so much...we are going back this fall. Plus we love that whole area.

  However, DYRT got some info wrong. While there are plenty of full hookup spaces for RVs, there are no pull thru sites. Only back in for trailers and drive-in for coaches. Many tent camping spaces and RV spaces w/just water and power. The folks are friendly and helpful.

  Candlestick RV Park

  A homeless shelter

  The streets are lined with homeless living in RVs etc leading up to the RV park and after, it smells like sewage. When arriving I was moved to 3 different sites, all of which I couldn’t fit into. The guy running the park blamed me for not telling him I have a tow vehicle... he did however know the length of my trailer and every spot he put me in wasn’t long enough for the trailer alone. I may have been able to back into the spaces but would’ve been hanging out a bit which I could’ve tried to deal with if it weren’t for the fact that I could not maneuver to back into any space because everyone that’s there has been there very long term and is living there. They all have garbage and debris overflowing their sites preventing me from backing in properly. The place is incredibly run down and dirty, it didn’t feel safe. I requested my money back which he did and then I left. I can’t believe that even being in the city, though the bad side of the city at that he’s charging $125 a night! I’ve been all over the country and I have to say that $25-$30 a night would be an extreme stretch realistically. Stay far away from here, it’s not safe, it’s not clean.

  Half Moon Bay State Beach Campground

  Busy Campground in May

  The hike and bike area is next to the RV hookup sites, and it can get a good bit of foot traffic.  Restrooms/showers were dirty, but that seems to be from the day visitors to the beach. It was cool and breezy, but still enjoyable on the beach.

  San Francisco RV Resort

  Too close for comfort

  Our group stayed here in early August of 2017. This RV resort gets packed!! RV’s were super close together so it’s a roll of the dice on what kind of neighbors you’re gonna get!!There are a few picnic tables around, but nothing in terms of entertainment for kids. Thank goodness we brought the kids’ bikes!! If you are willing to sacrifice the close proximity to neighbors, there are some killer views of the Pacific Ocean. We even saw whales!! The sunset was pretty killer, too.

  Anthony Chabot Regional Park

  Scenic Campsites with Great Hiking Trails

  Anthony Chabot Campgrounds sits high up on the Castro Valley Hills overlooking Lake Chabot. There are several awesome hiking trails going down to the lake as well as some equestrian trails. The hiking trails go around the lake. Dogs are allowed but they should be on a leash. Lake Chabot has a marina that rents boats for recreational use and fishing. It's a few miles driver to get there from the campgrounds. I only gave it 4 stars because of that. They have tent and RV campsites, but no RV hookups.

  Skyline Wilderness Park

  Inexpensive Full and Partial Hook-ups in Napa Valley

  Clean showers and bathrooms, some trees, close to Raley’s Grocery store. Easy drive to the wineries of Napa Valley, a little further to Sonoma but a nice drive. Picnic table, some full hook-ups and some partial, we will ask for full hook ups next time just for ease of getting out when your ready to go.

  Redwood Resort

  Consider campfires!

  This was a nice RV resort. It was clean and had bathrooms and showers! We were “placed” in a spot that held all the tree clippings and debris in a trailer. It backed up against 2 apt buildings with a baby that cried all night!! We were told no campfires unless we had a proper fire pit! That was the icing on the cake! 65$ for this spot but beggars can’t be choosers and when your camping in northern Ca make sure to have reservations because the old school ways of pulling off the side of the road and roughing it are over! Reservations are a must or you get what you get and you don’t pitch a fit!!!!!! But maybe consider campfires cause after all, what’s camping w/out a campfire?

  San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA

  Great camp for the kids

  This KOA is pretty big with plenty of options for RV sites. Wide variety of full hook-ups or partial hook-ups. Like most (if not all) KOAs, you can also tent camp or tent cabins. Good size dog park for the pets to run and be free, as well as plenty of fun activities to entertain the kiddos. For us, this is a great spot to shoot down the highway and pull in for a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life! Close to downtown Petaluma with plenty of premium shops and restaurants.

  Santa Vida RV Park

  Loved it

  This park has full hook ups. Sewer, water and electrical. No cell phone service or WiFi or cable. It’s in a gorgeous location and they have to short trails into the wild.💕

  Marin RV Park

  Location is the key..

  For what this RV park is designed to be, it is done very well. It’s a parking lot with full hookups strategically located to public transit direct to San Francisco. It’s surprisingly quiet for being in a semi industrial area right next to the 101, but there is road noise of course. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

  But I can’t give a parking lot 4 or 5 stars. That said it served our needs just fine and we’d stay there again, especially if we were visiting San Fran.

  Santa Cruz North-Costanoa KOA

  Fantastic (but pricey) KOA Experience

  Yes, this is a KOA, so if you are into tent camping or an immersive forest setting, you might want to look elsewhere. But for a quick weekend jaunt for RV campers, this location slightly more than an hour from the Bay Area is hard to beat. Full hook-ups are available, there is an on site restaurant and outdoor bar, and there is close proximity to multiple beaches and tide pools. The resort also has great activities for kids that they occasionally bring on site, such as a climbing wall and nature talks with live animals. The sites at the bottom of the first loop with awesome sunset views are my favorite. Very grassy and “outdoorsy” for a KOA.

  San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA

  Great stay

  This place was absolutely beautiful. I got a "full hook-up" site which apparently meant they drive around in the morning and clear your tanks. Not ideal but it worked for us.

  Contra Costa County Fair RV Park

  Not what you think

  Located at the Contra Costa County fairgrounds, this is an rv campground that doesn’t allow long term stay. These spaces are located directly next Antioch Speedway, where Saturday nights from Spring-Fall have dirt-track racing, it gets loud and dusty. During the morning-afternoon, Sat & Sun you have the flea market...where the camp sites are, is directly between the two. I would only recommend staying here if you are passing through for a night. Antioch has become riddled with crime, so if you’re passing through, my recommendation is to continue through Antioch, to the next option. There are no paved roads or pads, this all gravel, with a little bit of grass, what you see in the photo, is not of the campground, or anything near it.

  Olema Campground

  Private Family Oriented Campground

  Pros: Has numerous amenities including hot (free) showers (cleaned daily), flush toilets, full hookup RV spots, laundromat, US Post office, fenced playground, dog park, drive in tent sites, and firewood for sale. Cons: expensive, sites are close and poorly defined and the after hours check in procedure doesn’t prevent overlapping.

  Santa Vida RV Park

  Stay on lower road with the big ones!

  Really nice, safe and friendly place. Family owned for generation. Lots of trails, easy hooks ups, dog friendly. They say daily, weekly, monthly rates. To be month to month requires credit and background check. Full hook ups, elec, water and gray water. Nice sized pad. Cherry and apple tress throughput and a wooden grove chapel.

  Olema Campground

  Very nice

  This campground was a challenge to get to. Many windy roads (clearly not their fault). Some shady sites. Few full hook up available. Honey wagon available for non-sewer sites for $25. Clean bathrooms/showers. Dirt sites mostly level. The sites across the back of the campground are beautiful. Most have nice space between them. Great laundry room! I would book here again for a good long stay! Lots to do as it is near San Francisco, beaches, and Reyes Point. Nice “town” area too not far away.

  Marin RV Park

  location, location, location

  This RV Park gets 5 stars purely for it's location.  Drive in, park and then walk to all the sights you want to see in San Francisco.  A short 10 minute walk from the RV park is the ferry that will drop you off downtown San Francisco.  We spent a week here and only drove when we wanted the experience driving down Lombard St and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge.  Otherwise we took the ferry and then public transportation to all other points of interest in the San Francisco area.  It truly is nothing more than a parking lot with hookups.

  Alameda County Fairgrounds RV Park

  Clean park at edge of SF Bay Area

  We camp here with our travel trailer at the start of each season, to check out all our systems. If you are visiting and want to go to San Francisco, I think this is one of the closest RV parks to the city.

  Sites are grassy, some with trees, and pretty close together.

  If the Alameda Fairgrounds are having an event, you can't beat this location, it's on the property.

  San Francisco RV Resort

  Way better than the bad reviews say!

  If you want a great little place with quick easy access to San Francisco that has a great view of the ocean this place is great! And affordable! It's a little extra on a Thousand Trails membership... but the area is just so crazy expensive I can understand the need. The staff was welcoming on the way in. Spots are pre-reserved for you so you don't have to worry about the first-come-first-serve mess. That's always a relief. It doesn't look like all of the pull-through spots are still pull-through really even though the campground map indicates they are. The ones on the north side may be but looked like they are for really long rigs. I think that's mostly because of the recent configuration changes to the spots. The west side of the park DID fall into the ocean. This doesn't affect you or anything. There's a fence along that side now so you don't get close to the cliffs.

  The spots are all on asphalt so that keeps everything a bit cleaner. Some spots like ours did have the hookups on the wrong side due to it having been a pull-through at one time. We had to bring our cord and sewer line under the RV but didn't need any extensions. We were right beside the bathrooms which were clean and well kept. The spots are a bit tight... but... just realized where you are. It's not like there's a whole lot of land to go around in this city.

  The view of the ocean and the sunsets are fantastic. I honestly didn't understand any of the bad reviews because we actually had no bad experiences whatsoever. No campground is truly a 5-star as they never have everything but this one is definitely a solid 4.

  Even though it's in Pacifica, it's still super easy to get into San Francisco if that's your goal. We just parked our truck at Daly Station's parking garage. It's very safe and patrolled ( still don't leave anything visible in your car though just to be safe). The train takes you right into the heart of San Francisco and the transportation system there gets you everywhere else easily. We just got a Clipper card for our stay. If you just want to relax here there's still a beautiful walking path just south of the park. There is an auto junkyard next door to the south. Just get on the sidewalk and walk past there a little ways and then cut over on Paloma Avenue (I believe it was) to get to the path that goes along the ocean for a couple miles. Great views! Even walked down at night with our dog and never a once felt unsafe.

  Olema Campground

  A Lovely Little Surprise

  When I read reviews of this campground, we almost went elsewhere. So glad we didn't. What a lovely spot! Staff was immediately responsive when an issue came up involving a camper in a wrong site. I was impressed that they wet down the roads a couple of times per day to keep the dust down. They work hard to keep the sites neat & trimmed. We had full hook-ups @ our site. We were there Thurs through Tues. Most nights were very quiet with people retiring by dark. Fr & Sat there were a few more folks up a little later, but by 8p, the campground was dark & quiet. We will return. Great staff from desk to riding mower!

  Trailer Villa RV Park

  Easy-Peazy

  This RV park is great! We did a same day drop-in reservation for an overnight stay over the phone. After-hours check-in was a breeze, as the checkin instructions were taped to the main door of the office at the park entrance. The grounds are clean; parking pads are concrete and flat; and drive lanes AND parking spots are wide and spacious for maneuvering large RVs. Quiet hours are observed as we arrived very late and we felt like teenagers sneaking back in the house after a night out! This was just an unplanned stop on along journey so we didn’t explore the rest of the grounds, but I would highly recommend this RV park for any length of stay if the daytime environment is anywhere close to what we experienced at night! Happy trails!

  Skyline Wilderness Park

  Handy for Napa Area

  It’s good for an RV park type setting, but it’s still an RV Park.

  Close to town.

  We didn’t try the trails as we explored the area by car.

  The RTT area is generously sized, but not marked so you just have to hope you have respectful neighbors. We did!

  No shade in that area.

  We enjoyed the wild turkeys wandering through camp.

  Recommend the Hog Island Oyster Company at the farmers market in town.
